Episode 339 – Enslaver!

This Week: The Halloween month continues, and so does at least one horror movie release. Even though it wasn’t screened locally, Kevin and Kristin talk about the Carrie remake as well as the goofy prison movie Escape Plan with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other films on the docket include The Fifth Estate, which they swear they didn’t stream off a pirate server, and Paradise which puts Julianne Hough’s acting ability against that of Russell Brand playing Kevin’s father. Then, it’s on to DVD recommendations and some bizarre news shenanigans involving Madonna, the real Captain Phillips and Charlie Hunnam opening a path to Kevin’s superstardom as a motion picture sex symbol.

Episode 338 – Wookiee Mouse

This Week: Kristin and Kevin continue with the Halloween banter and actually get a chance to talk about a horror movie again for October. But first, they take a look at the big movies Captain Phillips and Machete Kills. They also revisit All the Boys Love Mandy Lane from a press screening in 2007. There’s also a drive-by on the new Romeo and Juliet film, and Kevin expresses his desires for the movie to have more robots and monsters in it (along with his desire for Captain Phillips to be about Popeye). They also chew through some movie news (with a nod to a Star Wars story) and some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations.

Second Reel Ep. 30 – The 5th Annual 24-Hour Ohio Horror Marathon

secondreellogo

On This Episode: It’s time once again for Fat Guys friend Joe Neff to stumble into the Magical Studio in the Sky to discuss the yearly 24-hour Ohio Horror Marathon! Kevin introduces Joe as the Master of Scaremonies, though Joe prefers to be known as the Master of the World (even though that comes with a massive time commitment). Kevin and Joe look ahead to the films lined up for the 24-hour day of madness. The marathon this year runs from 12 noon October 26th until 12 noon October 27st at the Drexel Theater in Bexley, Ohio. Kevin and Joe dissect the line-up and also run off on tangents about Dario Argento, film vs. video, dream logic and 70s cinema. Kevin also tosses out his “Watergate questions” about the gnawing rumors surrounding the inclusion of trailers, the food situation and potential placement in the line-up.
